1st day of kindergarten for Sydney

This is a picture of my Christmas morning(first day of school). I wanted the day to start out right so I made them a warm breakfast. This is a yearly occurrence for me because I am a cereal girl. My girls don't count warming things up in the microwave as a warm breakfast but I do.

There are moments in life that change who you are. I think one of those moments is the first day of Kindergarten. You have to go out in the world and your mom and dad can not protect you anymore. I cried the first of Kindergarten for Taylor and Carly. Not because I was sad they were growing up but I was sad that now other kids can hurt them. I spent 5 years of their life building up their self esteem and telling them they can do anything. One quick remark from another 5 year old can make them question that they might not be the best in the world. For some reason I did not cry for Sydney. I think she has enough self esteem for the whole class. I am actually a little worried that she might be the kid who puts all the other kids in their places. Look at her picture. She does not look at all nervous.

I thought I would post some of the girls kindergarten photos with this years photo so they could see their changes.

I missed the girls more than I thought. I went to Costco that day and had no one to help me unload the groceries.

Sydney I hope all your moments in Kindergarten help you realize that their is only one you .
